Courage comes from a spiritual force within us that makes us
determined to continue our journey to reach a goal that we have set before us.
There are times when it becomes difficult to continue when situations occurs that
causes us to suffer some great challenges that requires lots of sacrifices; but
despite the difficulties we endure, we don’t take our eyes off our goals.
If we
get knocked down, we get up! If we stagger, we find our balance. When others
are critical of us, and say evil and mean spirited things about us, we shake it
off; and keep running and never stop until we reach our goal.
All of the negative things we face, while trying to reach
our goals are weapons used to prevent us from reaching them. We have a weapon
that will blow every one used against us away. That weapon is called COURAGE. It
comes from faith in ourselves, and the belief that nothing can prevent us from
achieving our dreams.
“For with God nothing shall be impossible” (Gabriel an angel
St Luke 1: 37 K.J.V) When God performs acts that are out of the normal
occurrence, we call them miracles. They are the impossibilities having been
made possible through the work of supernatural power. However, God doesn’t view
his power as miracles, because with him all things are possible.
No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and
every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This
is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me,
saith the LORD. Isaiah 54: 17 (K.J.V)
